Head Up Dog Training

Introduction: Hey y’all! My name is Ana Maria and I became a dog trainer because once I was just like you. I had a dog named Stella that I absolutely loved. She was my best friend in the whole world, but she had behavioral issues that made it difficult to live with her harmoniously. I couldn’t even go on a walk safely at one point! I dealt with separation anxiety, dog aggression, human reactivity, and so many other things. I tried to train her, but I encountered so much misinformation and generally unhelpful advice. Eventually I did find training and techniques that worked, and when I did I was hooked on the process of transforming dogs from out of control and rude to polite and impressively well mannered. My passion for dogs led me to attend the Tom Rose School for Professional Dog Trainers in 2018. There I attended the world renowned Professional and Masters Dog Trainers course. I learned to work with pet dogs suffering from all sorts of behavioral problems as well as working dogs, service dog, and sport dogs. I established my company so that I could help dog owners in the same position I was in when I was struggling with Stella. It’s so difficult to find information on dog training that is accurate, effective, and kind. The services I offer range from group classes to aggressive behavior modification board and training programs. My most popular program is my three-week board and train, where your dog comes to stay with me for three weeks to learn to be obedient, polite, and balanced. After your pup's initial training, each day will be a new adventure to an interesting location like a dog-friendly shopping center, nature trails, or the beach. This program also includes six hours of one on one training. Before you sign up for my training programs, I recommend that we meet for a free behavioral evaluation (phone calls during Covid-19). This allows us to observe your dog's behavior, gives me time to talk in-depth about what your training goals are, and helps us to match you with the best training program for your needs. Head Up Dog Training is an adventure-based dog company. We believe that real training happens in the real world. We take our dogs outdoors to busy locations like Downtown, U-Village, and Broadway. Our high standards of excellence require that we make sure every dog that leaves our doors can live a happy and manageable life, even in the big city.
